      <h3>Our Privacy Promise</h3>
      <p>
        Hello is built with privacy by design. We collect minimal data, store nothing permanently, and use no tracking
        or cookies. Your calls are peer-to-peer, meaning your video and audio go directly between participants, not
        through our servers.
      </p>

      <h3>What Information We Collect</h3>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>Your name</strong> - You provide a display name when joining calls</li>
        <li>
          <strong>WebRTC connection data</strong> - Technical data needed to establish peer-to-peer connections (IP
          addresses, connection details)
        </li>
        <li><strong>Access logs</strong> - Basic server logs for technical maintenance and security</li>
      </ul>

      <h3>How We Store Your Information</h3>

      </ul>

      <h3>When Data Gets Deleted</h3>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>Immediately</strong> - WebRTC connection data is deleted as soon as you leave a call</li>
        <li><strong>7 days</strong> - Access logs are automatically deleted after 7 days</li>
        <li>
          <strong>When you clear browser data</strong> - Your stored name is deleted if you clear your browser's local
          storage
        </li>
      </ul>

      <h3>What We Don't Do</h3>
      <ul>
        <li><strong>No call recording</strong> - We never record, store, or monitor your video/audio calls</li>
        <li><strong>No tracking</strong> - We don't use tracking pixels, or behavioral tracking</li>
        <li><strong>No cookies</strong> - We don't set any cookies on your device</li>
        <li><strong>No data selling</strong> - We never sell, rent, or share your information with third parties</li>

        <li>Hello's privacy practices remain the same within the embedded frame</li>
        <li>We don't share data with the host website</li>
      </ul>
